Frequently Asked Questions

What's the real challenge at San Juan Hills Golf Club for a mid-handicapper?

Focus on the back nine here; it's where San Juan Hills truly tests your game. You'll find tighter fairways and more elevation changes, especially on holes 12 through 15, demanding precise iron play to avoid trouble. Don't let the front nine lull you into complacency.

When is the best time of year to play San Juan Hills for ideal conditions and fewer crowds?

We recommend visiting in late fall or early spring. The weather is usually perfect- sunny and mild- and you're more likely to avoid the peak summer crowds and the occasional marine layer that can linger in the mornings. Aim for a weekday morning tee time for the best pace of play.

Is San Juan Hills a good value, and what should I expect regarding green fees?

Absolutely, it's a solid value for the quality of golf you get in this area. Green fees are competitive, typically ranging from $60-90 depending on the day and time, which is fair for a well-maintained course with interesting holes. You'll find the course generally in good shape, especially the greens.

Are there any signature holes or unique features at San Juan Hills I should look out for?

Keep an eye out for the par-3 17th; it's a real beauty and a fun challenge. You'll hit over a canyon to a well-guarded green, and while it's visually stunning, it demands a confident shot to avoid a big number. It's definitely one of the most memorable holes on the course.

How are the practice facilities at San Juan Hills, and should I plan extra time to warm up?

The practice facilities are decent, offering a driving range with grass tees and a good putting green. We definitely recommend arriving 45 minutes early to hit a few balls and get a feel for the greens' speed, as they can be quicker than they look, especially on the back nine. It will save you strokes.
